Back by popular demand, the one-man play, âVincent,â returns to the Edison Theatre in Mammoth Lakes for two nights only, Jan. 16 and 17.
Last staged in Mammoth last January, the story takes place a few days after the death of little known painter Vincent Van Gogh.
âVincentâ is written by Leonard Nimoy and stars French-born Jean-Michel Richaud.
When the story picks up, rumors are flying around Paris about the little known painter â some say Van Gogh was a penniless madman, a frequenter of prostitutes, a derelict and soon to be forgotten artist of trifling quality.

Hello, everybody! Here we are with column number 13, the luckiest number of all! Thanks for sticking with me. There have been good times and bad times. I wanted to give up a few times, and Iâm sure you all have as well. It has been a bumpy ride, but the world is better for it.

Reviews of notable new releases âŠ

âNeighborsâ (R)

Starring: Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Rose Byrne
Although âNeighbors,â at face value, has all the charms of any Seth Rogen movie (drug humor, outrageous sexual situations and more drug humor) the first thing I noticed about this film was its heart and how real each character felt.

Without further ado, this week in the geek world âŠAt the Edinburgh International Literary Festival, author George R.R. Martin revealed that some fans have correctly guessed the ending to his âA Song of Ice and Fireâ(Game of Thrones)series. Iâm pretty sure this means that my theory that the entire saga is a dream of Bob Newhartâs will prove totally correct âŠ For those of you who are Harry Potter fans, JK Rowling has released new info on pottermore.com about periphery character Celestina Warbeck, a jazz singer popular with Mrs. Weasleyâs age group.
